Cheng Xiaofan rushed to the door and saw Po Tianying circling in the air with Tao Qibao before landing on the balcony of the bamboo pavilion.
In Tao Qibao's embrace were three Dragon Candle Grasses.
He took the Dragon Candle Grasses and examined them carefully. Truly, they lived up to their reputation as ancient divine herbs, with spiritual energy flowing like water even on their leaves.
These fiery red Dragon Candle Grasses were exceptionally beautiful.
Cheng Xiaofan asked Tao Qibao, "Did you only find these three Dragon Candle Grasses?"
"Woof woof!" Responding to Master, this noble dog only found these three Dragon Candle Grasses.
It's likely that in these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, only these three exist.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "You two go down and rest first, then go to the village to have some wild boar king meat soup!"
"Woof woof!"
"Jeeeee—"
The dog and the eagle immediately left with joy.
"What beautiful Dragon Candle Grasses!"
Bai Yiling looked at the three ancient divine herbs and sighed, "It's a pity there are so few!"
Cheng Xiaofan understood her meaning and smiled, saying, "Having these three Dragon Candle Grasses is already great. I can place it in a special space and cultivate thousands upon thousands of Dragon Candle Grasses!"
The special place he referred to was, of course, the Shennong Space.
"By then, I'll place a few pots of Dragon Candle Grass in our home!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiling smiled, "That sounds wonderful. I truly love this kind of Dragon Candle Grass. Later, please put two pots in my bedroom and Shen Ruobing's bedroom as well!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Of course, whatever you say, I will obey!"
"Alright, then you get busy. I'll head back now!" Bai Yiling knew Cheng Xiaofan would be entering a special space soon, and her presence might not be convenient.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first. I'll be back soon to drink the wild boar king meat soup!"
After Bai Yiling left, Cheng Xiaofan felt a sense of confusion.
Should he tell her about the Shennong Space?
After all, she was his Fu Long Feng.
Moreover, they had already undergone multiple soul fusions in the Dragon Boat of the Interstellar Space.
In reality!
There was no need to hide some things from her anymore.
He shifted his gaze to the window.
At this moment, Bai Yiling was just going downhill.
She had brought her own motorcycle when she arrived.
"..." He opened his mouth, wanting to call back his Bai Goddess and even bring her into the Shennong Space together to cultivate Dragon Candle Grass.
But!
He still didn't call out.
The matter of the Shennong Space was too mysterious.
It also involved how he obtained the inheritance. For a moment, Cheng Xiaofan truly didn't know how to explain it all to Bai Yiling.
"Yiling, I'm truly sorry. I will explain this to you clearly sooner or later!" He murmured, watching Bai Yiling ride her motorcycle and disappear into the back mountain.
Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that Bai Yiling was rushing to leave so that it would be convenient for him to enter that mysterious space.
Perhaps, at the moment she left.
She must have felt a bit of heartache.
He was the man closest to her.
Yet he was unwilling to open that most mysterious door for her.
He would wait for the right time to explain to his Bai Goddess!
Cheng Xiaofan immediately withdrew his gaze from the window, no longer dwelling on it, and entered the Shennong Space.
Inside the space, the Climbing Roses and Royal Rouge branches he had taken from the room arranged by his old classmate Li Weiguo had already produced dozens of flowers.
These were typical ornamental flowers. Although very precious, Cheng Xiaofan still designed limited propagation within the space.
After all, with too many plants in a limited space, they would compete for resources.
The Dragon Candle Grass, after absorbing dragon qi, had medicinal value no less than the thousand-year-old ginseng Cheng Xiaofan had cultivated in the space.
With such a treasure, he naturally attached great importance to it.
Furthermore, the root system of the Dragon Candle Grass was very developed. In this Shennong Space, with the permeation of spiritual energy, it could sprout clusters of tender shoots from its roots and grow more Dragon Candle Grass.
In no time, Cheng Xiaofan had planted the three Dragon Candle Grasses in an empty plot nearby.
He then used the power of the space to demarcate a plot for the three Dragon Candle Grasses, preventing other plants from encroaching on their space.
It could be said that within the Shennong Space, Cheng Xiaofan was like a king. The plants inside had to obey him.
Each plant was confined to its own territory and was not allowed to invade the territory of other plants.
After coming out of the space, Cheng Xiaofan received a call from his mother, saying that if there was nothing else to do in the back mountain, he should come back earlier.
He checked the time; it was almost noon.
Clearly, his mother was urging him to return home for the wild boar king meat soup.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately rode his motorcycle and left the back mountain.
Before he even entered the village, a tantalizing aroma wafted towards him.
A flock of birds gathered in the sky above the village, chirping incessantly and circling, clearly attracted by the fragrance emanating from the village.
Across the river, pedestrians walking on the embankment of Jinbaowei stopped involuntarily, looking towards the direction of Zhuxi Village from where the scent drifted.
What day was it today, that such a fragrant aroma of wine and meat was wafting from Zhuxi Village again?
The aroma was too tempting!
Some people, unable to resist the allure of the fragrance, headed straight for Zhuxi Village, hoping to beg for some food.
In the Jinbaowei area, an old man named Zhang Jinfà had been bedridden for over a week due to illness.
At this moment, he was propped up by the window, sniffing the air. His pair of cloudy old eyes suddenly sparkled.
"So fragrant!"
He muttered and then shouted loudly, "Shuilian, Shuilian, come here quickly!"
Shuilian was Zhang Jinfà's granddaughter, twenty-five years old, beautiful and capable.
Her father had drowned in the Yangtze River due to a boating accident many years ago, and her mother had run off with someone else. She had grown up by her grandfather's side.
Zhang Shuilian was cooking in the kitchen. Hearing her grandfather's shouts, she hurried from the kitchen to his bedroom and asked, "Grandpa, is there something you need?"
Zhang Jinfà sniffed towards the window again, licked his lips, and said, "Shuilian, where is this meat aroma coming from? Grandpa smells it and really wants to eat meat!"
Zhang Shuilian sniffed towards the window and asked, "Grandpa, I don't smell any meat aroma?"
Zhang Jinfà said, "I can smell it, it's very fragrant. You can't smell it? Go out and smell it!"
Zhang Shuilian smiled and said, "Grandpa, if you want to eat meat, I'll go to the street and buy some, and cook it for you!"
Zhang Jinfà shook his head and said, "Shuilian, this meat aroma I smell is extraordinary. Even if you buy meat from the street and cook it well, I won't eat it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuilian quickly said, "Grandpa, I'll go outside and smell it to see where the meat aroma is coming from."
Zhang Shuilian thought her grandfather's sense of smell was malfunctioning and didn't take it seriously. She ran out the door, sniffed the air, and couldn't help but pause.
There was indeed a peculiar and enticing aroma in the air.
It seemed to be drifting from the embankment.
She immediately ran onto the embankment, and the aroma grew stronger.
Standing on the embankment, Zhang Shuilian realized that the alluring fragrance was drifting from the direction of Zhuxi Village on the other side of the river.
